Sunday March 27th 2011 – Three counties indoor match against Kent and Essex, this year hosted by Kent. This match is for a six person recurve team shooting a Portsmouth round.
Once again it was a strong performance by the Middlesex recurve team beating Kent and only being beaten by Essex thanks in no small measure to the effort made by GB Squad member Michael Peart making an appearance and scoring an impressive 590 score.

Sunday March 20th 2011 - Middlesex hosted Hertfordshire for the annual head to head indoor match, this year was the first chance to use the facilities at the Harefield Academy which proved to be an excellent archery venue.
This match is for the full Middlesex team shooting a Portsmouth round. The team consists of ten recurve, four longbow and four compound archers and so offers a great opportunity for people to get involved at this level of competition.
The compound team despite sterling performances from the two junior team members Chris Cassells and Ben Humphrys were unable to match the Herts performance putting a score of 2241 against Herts 2316.
The longbow team were lead by a great score from Roger Spellane of 485 but unfortunately were only able to put in a total 1660 against Herts 1768.
The recurve team lead the way for the majority of the day but lost ground in the last couple of dozen arrows to lose by the smallest of margins with 4488 against 4492.
Many thanks to all those that helped to host and run the tournament and to the Herts team for making this an enjoyable shoot.
